To collect as much electromagnetic energy from the environment as possible, the corresponding antenna and rectifier are required to have a wide bandwidth. However, the existing broadband rectifiers either have the complex structure or bulky size. To solve these problems, a new broadband rectifier configuration is proposed. A coupled line section and a shorted stub are introduced in a voltage double configuration to guide the harmonic components back to the input for efficiency enhancement at the higher frequency. Subsequently, the bandwidth can be extended. For validation, a wideband rectifier based on Schottky diode SMS7630 had been designed, fabricated and measured. The conversion efficiency of the implemented rectifier is higher than 40% over a relative bandwidth of 110% from 0.9 GHz to 3.1 GHz at the input power level of 0 dBm. Compared with state-of-the-art broadband configurations, the implemented rectifier achieved a wider bandwidth maintaining a compact size.

A dual-band dual-polarized array antenna based on filtering elements without using extra filtering circuit is proposed. The proposed array antenna consists of one low-band (LB) element with four filtering high-band (HB) elements around it. The two operating bands of the dual-band array antenna are respectively 1.7-2.7 GHz (LB) and 3.3-4.2 GHz (HB). Based on the filtering response of these elements, the isolation between LB and HB elements can be largely improved compared with normal antenna elements. The isolation between LB element and HB element is more than 25 dB. In addition, the radiation properties of the antenna elements operating in different bands are not distinctively affected by each other. These merits make the proposed dual-band array antenna suitable for massive multiband array applications.

This study developed a novel shorted antenna with tuning slit for radio frequency identification (RFID) that mounted on a metallic plane. Conjugate matching of the resistance and inductive reactance of the antenna to the desired chip impedance can be performed by simply tuning the length of the slit etched on the patch. An Alien Higgs-4 chip (8.1-j149 Ω at 925 MHz) was connected to the short side strip of the feeding loop. The gap of 0.1 mm between the proposed antenna and the metallic plane can enhance the antenna gain from the reflection of the plane. After analysis and optimization of the tag antenna, fabricated tags mounted on a metallic plane had impedance bandwidths of 2.2%. In tests of an RFID reader with an effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 4.0 W, the maximum read ranges for tag in an outdoor environment was 8.1 m.

This paper investigates the design of a pixelated electrode plates for capacitive wireless charging suited for mobile phone with metal shell. The study focuses on solving the problem that the effective coupling area (ECA) is relatively small when the secondary electrode plate is shifted in X direction and/or in Y direction and the variation of ECA is kept low. For the first time, the novel concept of “vacant” pixel is introduced into the capacitive charging plate, via which the above mentioned problem of small ECA, caused by the placement offset of the secondary electrode plate, is overcome. A tristate discrete particle swarm optimization (TDPSO) scheme is applied to optimize the pixel distribution of both pixelated positive and negative electrode plates, and the vacant pixel distribution in between. Via the global search scheme TDPSO we are able to determine the shapes of positive and negative electrodes for both the primary side (charging board) and the secondary side (charged board, such as a mobile phone).

A neural network-based method for multi-layer permittivity measurement is proposed in this paper. This method uses the multiple-square concentric complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) to take multiple non-identical resonance frequency measurement, and a scalable, iterative neural network approach is applied to estimate for dielectric property measurement. Instead of the tedious development and establishment of analytic formulas, neural network engine solver can simplify this step and still have acceptable accuracy. The dual-layer MUTs measurement had an average error of 8.78% for ε1 and an average error of 8.9% for ε2. It can be extended to the measurement of more than two layers substrate.

In this paper, a single-layer wideband absorber with wide angular coverage is presented. The resistive surface is realized by a periodic array of I-shaped capacitive patterns with chip resistors. By introducing the capacitive patterns, the distance between metal ground and resistive surface with air space is reduced to 1/5 λ @10 GHz. A 10-dB absorption bandwidth from 5.5 GHz to 14.5 GHz has been observed in simulation under normal incidence of TE polarization. This structure also exhibits an angular stability up to 30° with a wide absorption band of at least 90% absorptivity from 4.8 GHz to 14.5 GHz. The fabricated design shows good agreement with the simulation.

This letter studies the RF performance of wideband divide-by-2 injection-locked frequency dividers (ILFDs) with various inductor layouts in the 0.18 µm CMOS process. The ILFDs use an inductor composite in shunt with parasitic capacitors as the resonator, and they also use capacitive cross-coupled pairs to generate negative resistance for start-up oscillation. The gate biases of capacitive cross-coupled pairs are used to tune the free-running ILFD oscillation frequency. The first designed ILFD uses two octagonal inductors, the inductors in other two ILFDs use a twisted configuration and the ILFDs have low EM radiation level and less sensitive to received EM noise. These ILFDs have wide locking range because no varactors is in shunt with injection FETs.

A sub-6-GHz multi-input multi-output (MIMO) slot antenna system was proposed in this study, where each antenna element was constructed using a slot structure. To effectively use the available space in a tablet and maximize the screen, we have deployed the MIMO antenna system on the left side-edge frame of the tablet. The MIMO antenna system consists of two identical dual-slot-antenna units that are separated by 10 mm. The two closely spaced slot antennas in the same dual-slot-antenna unit are arranged asymmetrically mirrored of each other with respect to the system ground plane. The isolation between its two slot antennas can be enhanced by 5 dB to meet the design requirement by using an ungrounded full-wavelength microstrip resonator.
